Now, if I was a god-fearing, church-going man, I might think twice about a project like this. That not being the case, I was pretty amused with Kevin Kelm's "sacri-licious experiment" of trying to improve communion wafers by adding a variety of condiments. From French onion dip ("It's like eating a blister") to Grey Poupon ("six kinds of horrible"), the wafers get a lot of mileage. They also get dressed up with some Easy Cheese, anchovy paste and Oreo cookie filling. Ultimately, none of them seem to please Kevin and his tasting partner Gary. The final conclusion is that alcohol is needed to make the wafers palatable. Surprise.

that's great! i've always wondered about this, when i was a kid sitting in church. and for the record, from what i learned in my many theology classes is that the communion wafer is just a wafer. it's only something religious or "holy" when it's been blessed and such. or that's what i remember.

i always envied the churches that had really good communion that wasn't a wafer. we used to visit my great uncle in michigan, and at the catholic church up there, instead of wafers, they gave out this sweet, moist, cake-like bread, with nuts and raisins in it. it was amazing.
